Daily Devotional for Sunday November 28, 2010

Don't Push God's Grace

(Acts 5:1-11)

Don't push God's grace. I have heard many wonderful messages on "the God of
the second chance". I have to admit that in my life, it has been the God of
the "I can't count that high" chances. I have been guilty in my life of
rolling the dice and counting on God's grace to be there. Let me share
something with you today that you MUST listen to. There is NO PLACE in the
bible that promises you a second chance.

The messages on "the God of the second chance" are testimonies....NOT
Biblical promises. Again, there is NO PLACE in the Bible where God promises
you a second chance. However I do believe, that as long as you have breath,
you can receive God's grace. That is where you are playing spiritual
roulette. The Bible does tell us that tomorrow is not guaranteed to any of
us. Read today's Scripture about Ananias and Sapphira.

The point of today's Devotional is as a warning, a wake-up call to those who
are living in rebellion to God's will and plan for their life. Those who are
betting that they can enjoy the fruits of sin and at some point "get right"
with God...that may work...you may get lucky. But are you willing to bet
eternity on a few moments of pleasure? Let me tell you the other fallacy in
that thinking.

Once you are involved in sinful activities, it becomes like quicksand. You
may want out, but at some point you realize that you can't get out. Sin
lures you in, like the Venus flytrap, and all of the sudden you can't
escape. You stop praying, you stop reading the Bible, you stop going to
church, and you turn off any message of God. It becomes a slippery slope and
each day you fall farther, making it harder to escape. I am speaking to many
of you today, and you know who you are.

The answer? God sends His Word to you at various times to help you escape.
He loves you! He has a perfect plan for your life. This message today is one
of those times that God is speaking directly to your heart. This is not an
accident that you are reading this today. The answer? Run from your sin and
run to God before it is too late. The story of Ananias and Sapphira is NOT a
work of fiction.

It happened. These were real people. They tempted God, pushed His grace, and
lost! God is giving you an opportunity today to turn away from your sin. He
will help you. He will strengthen you. Don't miss this chance, because THERE
IS NO GUARANTEE YOU WILL HAVE ANOTHER ONE.

I love you and care about you. These are tough words because I know so many
are hurting and in the midst of great turmoil. However, I have to be honest
with you, because you need someone to tell it like it is. You can count on
my prayers, and if I can help in any way, don't hesitate to contact me.

The most important question to ask yourself is this. am I really happy with
my life, living in rebellion to God? If the answer is no, then find a quiet
place right now, and simply ask God to forgive you, repent of your sins, and
ask Him to help you come back to Him. He is extending His grace to you
today. Don't take that grace for granted.

***As we head into the last few days of the month, we still need $20,000 to
cover the balance of this months operational budget. Also, we have received
8 of the 100 $5,000 units we need to meet the start-up costs of the new
"9-11 Christian Center at Ground Zero." Please pray today about making a
special gift to help me cover our November budget, and for those God has
blessed, pray about taking one or more of these last 92 units for this
project that is not only going to see many souls won to Christ, but help
turn this nation back to God and His Truth! Don't forget, for every $5k
unit, we will have a special plaque in the lobby of our new center at ground
zero with engraved leaves dedicated to the one you love and care about.
